Foulkes to Jamie Smith, out Caught by Williamson!! In the air and taken. Three-quarter seam delivery from Foulkes at 129.2kph, Smith shapes to hoick it across the line. Premeditated shot and he pays the price. The ball seams away slightly and lobs up in the air off the outer edge. Williamson settles under it at backward point and pouches it safely. He wanted to go reverse-cupped but changed his mind at the last moment to catch it with his fingers pointed downwards. England have lost both their openers.
